Memory is definitely an issue............1GB is what you will need at a minimum. That is the thing that stands out to me first and foremost. The minimum spec is 512MB, but 1GB is recommended by Sonoma.

I had to get more ram and it solved the same kind of issue I was having when I first started using RW.

What ar using to plug into your PC? PODxtl?...Guitar Port..Tone Port? What driver are you using in RiffWorks? ASIO...PODxtl...etc? We need more info to help.

As Bob said, we need to know what audio interface device you're using. You most likely just need to lower that device's buffer settings to decrease the lag or latency you're experiencing.

- Open RiffWorks
- Click AUDIO SETUP
- Click the ASIO SETTINGS button
- Lower the buffer size. Start with 512, then try 256 and see if that works with your system.
